Brief Summary

Randomized Clinical Trial in rugby sports club in Lahore. A Sample size of 26 is calculated using epitol.Group A: Sports specific training Treatments will be provided in 30 mins per week for 3 consecutive weeks. Weight programs include closed chain exercises (squats, pushups) and open chain exercises (leg press, chest fly using dumbbell) Stretch shortening cycle (enhances performance through storage of elastic energy during eccentric phase and activation of stretch reflex). Group B: neuromuscular training Treatments will be provided in 30 mins per week for 3 consecutive weeks Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Goniometer

  To measure ROM at hip and knee joints

  6 weeks

• Star exclusion test

  The test originally incorporated reaching in eight directions while standing on each foot. the 8 different directions are following: anterior, anteromedial, medial, posteromedial, posterior, posterolateral, lateral and anterolateral. SEBT performance scores using the following simple equations: Average distance in each direction (cm) = Reach 1 + Reach 2 + Reach 3 / 3 Relative (normalised) distance in each direction (%) = Average distance in each direction / leg length \* 100

  6 weeks

• Finger tip to floor test

  The patient is asked to bend forward and attempt to reach for the floor with their fingertips. The physical therapist then measures the distance between the patient's right long finger and the floor using a standard measuring tape. Mean fingertip- to-floor test was 21.5 21.7cm (range, 0-48cm) for men and 19.6 22cm (range, 0-50cm) for women
